Italian Plum trees (Prunus Domestica) are a cold-hardy, European freestone variety of plum, producing high yields of oblong-shaped plums with a higher sugar content compared to the common American variety (Prunus americana). Italian plum trees are self-fertile and have a later ripening season than most plum trees. The added sweetness of this freestone plum makes it a joy to prepare and use in a wide range of dishes, and these self-pollinating trees won’t require a whole orchard to help them produce!
